Couldn't you just use an animal trap in a hallway, then let it in and stick it in an animal stockpile for all eternity? That's what keeps ending up happening to bronze colossuses in my games.

And you needent get snitty, magma solves many problems, and maybe it doesn't exist everywhere, but perhaps it should.

Eventaully if we want magma won't we just be able to keep digging till we hit it?  I mean that's what dwarves are for right?  Sure it should be pressurized and basically kill whoever finds it... but it still down there... eventually

Repace animal trap with cage traps and you're good to go, I would quite fancy having a giant, skeletal TAMEBALE(unless it killed a dwarf) dragon, but really, cage traps are the best "weapon" in the game, they will capture anything, just out them at a corner and make sure dwarves can't get in range of the dragon's fore breath...

If it picks a place and stays there, tunnel under it with a Legendary miner.

Dig a Ramp, then remove said ramp the nanosecond it completes. This will allow you to make channels from below. With this it may be possible to wall the beast in with channels.

After that, just drop the whole damn hill with a cave-in. Problem solved.

I'm pretty sure undead creatures cannot be tamed.

The traps will eventually kill it. But that is so unbelievably anticlimactic that I wouldn't let my fortress get saved by that. I'd rather go down fighting and reclaim, but that's just me.

You might be able to create a complex network of tunnels on the entire map to get to the surface (for migrants, merchants, raiding...) but that's at your own risk.

These together suggest the idea of digging a pit under the dragon and collapsing it down 15 z-levels.

Not until the next version.

Yeah, cage traps are what I meant.

Also correct, for I HAVE TRIED!

[Lost Requiem]

Or I can just open the gates, hide my dorfs inside, and let the dragon waltz right into the stone-fall traps I set up. I did exactly that, it took about 6 traps to kill him.

But then you don't get a skeletal dragon in a box to admire for all time.
